FIELD OF INVENTION

BACKGROUND

In electronics industries, circuit board manufacturers are responsible for the production of multi-layer circuit boards, while assembly companies are responsible for wire bonding and packaging the chips on the multi-layer circuit boards and for electrical properties tests of the electronic components after the chips and the circuit boards are packaged to be electronic components in the packaging procedures.

Before the chips and the conventional multi-layer circuit boards are delivering to the assembly company, electrical properties tests can be applied to the chips but cannot be applied to the conventional multi-layer circuit board. As a result, after the packaging procedures, the multi-layer circuit board, units on the multi-layer circuit board, and connections between the multi-layer circuit board and the units have to be checked and analyzed carefully to find problems when the electrical properties tests of the component are not qualified. Nevertheless, the sizes of such kinds of electronic components are quite tiny and the structures of the electronic components are fine. As a result, it takes time and labor to find out the reasons causing the unqualified electrical testing result. Furthermore, the responsibilities for the unqualified electrical testing result cannot be clarified.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the problems mentioned above, a multi-layer circuit board capable of being applied with electrical testing and method for manufacturing the same are provided. The multi-layer circuit board can have electrical testing before the multi-layer circuit board is provided for the assembly company for packaging. Therefore, the cost for figuring out reasons of the unqualified electronic component can be reduced, and the responsibilities for the unqualified electrical testing result of the electronic component can be clarified efficiently.

Next, a solder mask layer 75 exposing the top-layer circuit 41 and covering the top dielectric layer 44 is formed on the multi-layer circuit structure 40, so that the multi-layer circuit board capable of being applied with electrical testing is obtained.

In one embodiment, the first patterned photoresist layer 50, the second patterned photoresist layer 50 a, the third patterned photoresist layer 50 b, and the fourth patterned photoresist layer 50 c are made of dried photoresists.

The multi-layer circuit structure 40 is disposed on the delivery loading plate 70 through the bottom-layer circuit structure 60, the delivery loading plate 70 exposes the conductive corrosion-barrier layer 35, and the top-layer circuit 41 of the multi-layer circuit structure 40 is electrically connected to the conductive corrosion-barrier layer 35 through the inner-layer circuit 42 and the bottom-layer circuit 61. Therefore, before the multi-layer circuit board is delivered to the assembly company or before the multi-layer circuit board is packaged with chips, an electrical testing can be applied to the multi-layer circuit board to check the circuit between the top-layer circuit 41 and the conductive corrosion-barrier layer 35 is conductive or not. In other words, before the multi-layer circuit board is packaged with the chips, the multi-layer circuit board can be checked if it can be operated normally. Hence, not only the product quality of multi-layer circuit board can be checked, but also the cost for figuring out reasons of the unqualified electronic component can be reduced. Moreover, the responsibilities for the unqualified electrical testing result of the electronic component can be clarified efficiently.

Furthermore, since the delivery loading plate 70 is made of metal, the delivery loading plate 70 can provide a proper supporting force for the conductive corrosion-barrier layer 35, the bottom-layer circuit structure 60, the multi-layer circuit structure 40, and the solder mask layer 70. Hence, the bottom dielectric layer 63, the top dielectric layer 44, and the inner dielectric layer 43 may exclude glass fiber. For instance, the bottom dielectric layer 63, the top dielectric layer 44, and the inner dielectric layer 43 may be Ajinomoto build-up films. Owning to excluding from glass fiber, the Ajinomoto build-up films have thinner thicknesses as compared with plastic sheets having glass fiber (e.g., the plastic sheets made of bismaleimide triazine (BT) and glass fiber). Therefore, when the Ajinomoto build-up films are used for making the bottom dielectric layer 63, the top dielectric layer 44, or the inner dielectric layer 43, the overall thickness of the multi-layer circuit board can be reduced.
